8 FIELD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Blaby local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 FIELD CLOSE sales from September 2008 and January 2013 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the September 2008 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the January 2013 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might 8 FIELD CLOSE be worth now?

8 FIELD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £280,227.

This is based on house price inflation of 82%, between January 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Blaby local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 82% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 FIELD CLOSE of £154,000 on 25th January 2013. For the value to have increased from £154,000 to £280,227 over the eleven years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 FIELD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Blaby local authority area.
• The January 2013 sale price of £154,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 FIELD CLOSE has not materially changed since January 2013.
